It's amazing how you can tread both genres well and not be confined to the 'limitations' of each ...

Very few classical guitarists can play with that same fire, feel and conviction on electric, and vice-versa ... although Steve Morse comes to mind ...

Care to enlighten us mortals about how you lead a 'double life' so well?

Thanks for the compliment!

Well, for one thing, I think I was lucky enough to have developed my own electric style before I embraced classical/flamenco. This gives me a "base" to go back to whenever I pick up my electric. I know what I have to do in case I have to get my electric chops back up to snuff.

My classical/flamenco still needs a lot of work before I get as comfortable as I am on electric but I think I'm getting there.

As for the "double-life" thing, I don't know if I'm leading it that well but I do my best. Comprehension is the key, as long as you understand the inner workings of the music you're playing I guess you can get away with some things.

But you do need to prioritize one style. I'm a full time concert classical guitarist, I do electric on the side because: a)it's fun, b) I still get electric students so I need to be on my toes still in that genre.

thanks man. good to know you like it. all my bandmates were high and wasted at the time so medyo off beat yung ibang songs (my drummer didn't want to use a metronome). I'm still working on the "Sixth One". Hirap mag program ng drum machine, eh. Ire-record ko ulit the whole thing but the vocals when I get my hands on a better recording interface... I'll keep you posted. Oh yeah, that's one hell of a list of CD's you got there...
